Falling for You
Dylan Jakobsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Escape from a world full of problems that might
Steal me apart from you dear
Cause this is our year
Making our way through the town,
Holding our breathe from the smoke that surrounds,
Breathe it in deep, our heartbeats increase,
Yeah the sun will shine
When the times are hard
And moneys just make believe
Some days we’re singing the blues,
Oh beautiful girl, I’d buy you the world,
I’d fall, falling for you
Falling for you
Sell my soul to the devil,
Writing my name on his cruel burning wall
Working full time and waiting in line,
Getting paid in pennies and dimes,
Cashing the checks week to week,
Spending it all on the places wed be,
The things that we’d do like driving with you,
Round the world again and again
When the times are hard
And moneys just make believe
Some days we’re singing the blues,
Oh beautiful girl, I’d buy you the world,
I’d fall, falling for you
Falling for you
When the times are hard
When the times are hard
When the times are hard
When the times are hard
When the times are hard
And moneys just make believe
Some days we’re singing the blues,
Oh beautiful girl, I’d buy you the world,
I’d fall, falling for you
I'd fall, falling for you

Lets get away for the night
Let's escape from our problems for one night
Escape from a world full of problems that might
Leave behind a world filled with potential problems
Steal me apart from you dear
Keep us from being separated
Cause this is our year
This is the year for our love to shine
Making our way through the town,
Navigating through the hustle and bustle of the city
Holding our breathe from the smoke that surrounds,
Trying to avoid the pollution of the environment
Breathe it in deep, our heartbeats increase,
Embracing the moment and feeling alive
And the sun will shine
A hopeful outlook for the future
When the times are hard
During difficult times
And moneys just make believe
When money is scarce and unreliable
Some days we’re singing the blues,
On some days we may feel down
Oh beautiful girl, I’d buy you the world,
Expressing love and willingness to do anything
I’d fall, falling for you
Falling deeper in love with you
Sell my soul to the devil,
Doing whatever it takes for love
Writing my name on his cruel burning wall
Making a permanent commitment to love
Working full time and waiting in line,
Juggling work and life's demands
Getting paid in pennies and dimes,
Struggling to make ends meet
Cashing the checks week to week,
Living paycheck to paycheck
Spending it all on the places wed be,
Investing in memories with a loved one
The things that we’d do like driving with you,
Sharing experiences with a special someone
Round the world again and again
Willingness to go anywhere and do anything with loved one
I'd fall, falling for you
Falling deeper in love with you
